I’ve been a business owner most of my adult life. I started screen printing on my back porch and later learned hand lettering from an old pro, which started a career in sign painting. That lead to starting a business in signs and screen printing, including apparel. Over the 45 years that I ran my business, graphic design has always been the fun part of the work involved. I started with the Commodore 64 and Amigo computers and moved to Macintosh in the eighties. I’ve been through all phases of the progression of computer graphics and software evolution. I have extensive experience in layout of signs and vehicle graphics as well as creation of apparel design and separation, including spot, process and simulated process. I have also designed graphics for print, including business cards, flyers, menus, door hangers and various other print products.
I am currently a one person enterprise focusing on remote graphic design and layout. I keep up with the progression of the graphic world, including the use of AI in speeding up the process of image manipulation. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop as well as some of the other current graphic programs. This portfolio provides a sample of the work I have been doing in recent years but by no means conveys the whole of what I have done over the years.
I have two sites devoted to graphics for vinyl cutting and heat press images. One is an Etsy site and the other is a website, LoungeLizardDesigns. The Etsy site is mostly current popular and sport themed graphics and the website has more fan based art including popular celebrities and movie themes. I have included pages here in my portfolio showing samples of their content, as well as links.
